1 Chapter Review Chapter Summary Section 1: The Roman World Takes Shape Rome began as a small city-state. Its geography helped it to grow. It borrowed from the Greeks and Etruscans, and developed into a republic with a powerful citizen army. Section 2: From Republic to Empire Through a policy of imperialism, Rome grew to control the Mediterranean. Many civic virtues began to disappear as the people focused on wealth and leisure. Powerful emperors brought order, prosperity, and peace. Ancient Rome and the Rise of Christianity (509 B.C. A.D. 476)

2 Chapter Review Chapter Summary (continued) Section 3: The Roman Achievement The Romans admired Greek culture and the arts. Art was an important part of their culture. Their commitment to law is a legacy we enjoy today. They applied math and science to engineer aqueducts, temples, and stadiums. Section 4: The Rise of Christianity Amid rebellion and strife among the Jews, Jesus was born and began preaching. Although Jesus was executed by the Romans and early Christians were targets of persecution, in time Christianity became the official religion of Rome.

4 Section 1 Objectives Describe the physical and cultural settings in which Roman civilization arose. Outline how the Roman republic was structured and governed. Understand the rights and religious practices that characterized Roman society. Explain how the Roman republic grew and maintained its conquests. The Roman World Takes Shape

5 Section 1 Terms and People Etruscans the civilization that ruled northern Italy prior to the Romans republic a form of government in which the people choose officials who make laws patrician a member of the landed upper class that controlled positions in the Roman Senate consul one of two patricians selected each term to supervise the business of government and command the armies The Roman World Takes Shape

6 Section 1 Terms and People (continued) dictator a ruler who has complete control over the government plebeian a member of the class of farmers, merchants, and artisans who made up most of the population of Rome tribune an official elected to the Senate to protect plebeian interests veto the ability of tribunes to block a law they found harmful to plebeians legion the basic Roman military unit of 5,000 men The Roman World Takes Shape

7 Section 1 What values formed the basis of Roman society and government? Rome began as a small city in Italy and became ruler of the Mediterranean and beyond. The story of the Romans and how they built an empire begins with the land in which they lived. The Roman World Takes Shape

8 Section 1 Geography helped to unify Rome Unlike Greece, Italy was not broken into small valleys or divided by rugged mountains. Broad fertile plains to the north and west supported a growing population. The Roman World Takes Shape

9 Section 1 The Italian peninsula was centrally located in the Mediterranean Sea. The Roman World Takes Shape

10 Section 1 About 800 B.C., the Latins migrated to Italy and settled along the Tiber River. Greek colonists to the south and Etruscans in the north shared the peninsula and contributed engineering and religious ideas to Roman civilization. Legend says Rome was founded by twin brothers, Remus and Romulus, the sons of a Latin woman and the god Mars, giving Romans divine origins. The Roman World Takes Shape

11 Section 1 In 509 B.C., the Romans drove out the Etruscan rulers and established a republic. A republic: from the Latin res publica, that which belongs to the people, where people chose some of the officials. Laws were made by 300 land-holding, upper-class patricians who made up the Senate. The Romans felt a republic would prevent too much power from going to any one individual. The Roman World Takes Shape

12 Section 1 Two patricians were selected to supervise the government and command the army each term. These two consuls only served one term and checked or limited each other s power. In times of war, a single dictator was given power, but only for six months. The model dictator was Cincinnatus, who won a great battle, celebrated, and returned to his farm, all in 15 days. The Roman World Takes Shape

13 Section 1 The legacy of ancient Rome was to give commoners a voice in government and safeguards on their rights. A majority of the people were plebeian artisans, farmers, and merchants. Plebeians demanded the ability to question patrician judges. Plebeians elected tribunes who could veto laws. Laws were inscribed on stone tablets and placed in the forum (marketplace) for all to read. The Roman World Takes Shape

14 Section 1 Roman power grew over time. By 270 B.C. Rome had conquered the entire peninsula. Roman armies were: Made up of citizen soldiers Paid with a portion of the spoils Organized into 5,000 man legions Roman citizens made good soldiers because they were raised to value courage and loyalty and to respect authority. The Roman World Takes Shape

15 Section 1 Romans treated most conquered people well. People were generally allowed to keep their customs, religion, money, and local government. Some were granted full or partial Roman citizenship. Some were allowed to marry Roman citizens and trade in Rome. As a result, many remained loyal to Rome. The Roman World Takes Shape

16 Section 1 Rome took measures to consolidate its empire. Soldiers were posted throughout the land. Engineers built a system of all-weather roads. Trade and travel were encouraged, leading to the incorporation of Latin into the language of local peoples. Slowly, Italy united under Roman rule. The Roman World Takes Shape

17 Section 1 The family was the basic unit of Roman society. The male head of the household had absolute authority. Women could own property and run businesses, but most worked at home. Children were educated. The wealthy often hired Greek tutors. The Roman World Takes Shape

18 Section 1 Roman mythology was similar to that of Greece with many gods and goddesses. Jupiter Juno Neptune Mars Ruled over the sky and other gods The goddess of marriage The god of the seas The god of war The Roman World Takes Shape

19 Section 2 Objectives Understand how the Roman republic grew through a series of conquests. Identify the events leading to the decline of the Roman republic. Describe the nature of the new age that dawned with the Roman empire. From Republic to Empire

20 Section 2 Terms and People imperialism establishing control over foreign lands and people latifundia huge farming estates bought up by wealthy families Tiberius Gracchus 133 B.C., tribune who called on the state to distribute land to poor farmers Gaius Gracchus 123 B.C., tribune who sought to use public funds to buy grain to feed the poor From Republic to Empire

21 Section 2 Terms and People (continued) Julius Caesar military commander who ruled Rome as absolute dictator from 48 B.C. to 44 B.C.; began many reforms before being murdered Augustus title of exalted one, given to Octavian, who defeated Marc Antony in 31 B.C. census population count Hadrian emperor who codified Roman law in all the provinces and built a wall across Britain to hold back attackers From Republic to Empire

22 Section 2 What factors led to the decline of the Roman republic and the rise of the Roman empire? After gaining control of the Italian peninsula, Rome began to expand her influence around the Mediterranean Sea. This expansion created conflicts in Roman society that weakened and finally crushed the republic. Out of the rubble, however, rose the Roman empire. From Republic to Empire

23 Section 2 From 264 B.C. to 146 B.C., Rome fought the three Punic Wars against Carthage. Carthage ruled the Western Mediterranean, Spain, and North Africa. From Republic to Empire

24 Section 2 In the First Punic War, Rome won Sicily, Corsica, and Sardinia. In the Second Punic War, Hannibal crossed the Alps with his war elephants and surprised the Romans. For 15 years Hannibal won battles, but never captured Rome. Finally Rome forced him to leave to defend Carthage itself. From Republic to Empire

25 Section 2 In the Third Punic War, Carthage was destroyed. Salt was poured on the land so nothing could grow. Survivors were killed or sold into slavery. From Republic to Empire

26 Section 2 Rome fought for world domination. One by one, Macedonia, Greece, and parts of Asia Minor became Roman provinces as the republic followed a policy of imperialism. Others, such as Egypt, allied themselves with Rome. By 133 B.C. Romans referred to the Mediterranean as Mare Nostrum Our Sea. From Republic to Empire

27 Section 2 Growth of Roman Power to 44 B.C. From Republic to Empire

28 Section 2 Conquests brought wealth and unrest. A new class of wealthy generals, traders, and officials gained power in Rome. They bought up huge farming estates called latifundias and used captured slaves for labor. Unable to compete, small farmers lost their farms and in despair flocked to Rome seeking jobs. Urban unrest grew as corruption and the gap between rich and poor expanded. Greed replaced the virtues of hard work. From Republic to Empire

29 Section 2 Plebeians sought reform but were suppressed. In 133 B.C. Tiberius Gracchus called for the state to distribute land to the poor. In 123 B.C. his brother Gaius sought public funds to buy grain for the poor. Senators saw the brothers as a threat. Thugs were hired to lead waves of street violence that killed the brothers and thousands of their followers. From Republic to Empire

30 Section 2 The Roman republic fell into decline and civil war. There were slave uprisings. Roman legions, once made up of citizen soldiers, became professional armies loyal to their commanders rather than the Senate. Rival armies marched on Rome. From Republic to Empire

31 Section 2 In 58 B.C. Julius Caesar led his army into Gaul. A brilliant military leader, Caesar was feared by other generals after his success. When the Senate ordered Caesar to disband his army, he instead led them across the Rubicon River and marched on Rome. Today, to cross the Rubicon means to reach a point of no return. From Republic to Empire

32 Section 2 Caesar crushed his rival Pompey and became the absolute ruler of Rome from 48 B.C. to 44 B.C. Caesar instituted many reforms, including: Creating public works jobs for the unemployed. Granting citizenship to many conquered people. Adopting a calendar used for the next 1600 years. He also conquered much of the Mediterranean region. From Republic to Empire

33 Section 2 In March 44 B.C., Caesar was stabbed by his rivals, leading again to civil war. Caesar was remembered as a bold military leader, immortalized in a Shakespearean play and in military textbooks. He once famously said, Veni, vidi, vici. ( I came, I saw, I conquered. ) In 31 B.C., Caesar s nephew Octavian defeated his chief general Mark Antony to gain control. From Republic to Empire

34 Section 2 Octavian was given the title Augustus, the exulted one. He ruled until 14 A.D., ending the republic but creating a stable government. A well-trained civil service was hired, based on merit. A census counted the people to collect taxes fairly. A postal service, new roads, and coins helped trade. The unemployed received jobs in public works or farming. From Republic to Empire

35 Section 2 Later emperors varied in ability. Hadrian codified law throughout the empire. Marcus Aurelius fit Plato s model of an educated philosopher-king. Several were considered evil or insane. Nero set a fire that burned Rome. Caligula appointed his horse as consul. From Republic to Empire

36 Section 2 For 200 years from Augustus to Marcus Aurelius people enjoyed the Pax Romana, or Roman Peace. Roman legions protected and maintained roads. Roman fleets chased pirates. Grain came from Egypt. Trade caravans traveled to Africa, India, and China. Ideas and knowledge spread throughout the empire. From Republic to Empire

37 Section 2 Underlying economic problems were ignored, however, as people were distracted by public spectacles staged as entertainment. The Circus Maximus was a large race course where people bet on chariot races. Gladiators, usually trained slaves, fought. The losers lost their lives with a thumbs down from the crowd. From Republic to Empire

38 Section 3 Objectives Summarize the works of Roman literary figures, historians, and philosophers. Describe the art and architecture developed by the Romans. Understand how Romans applied science and mathematics for practical use. Explain how Rome s legal codes protected everyone in the empire. The Roman Achievement

39 Section 3 Terms and People Virgil poet who wrote the epic poem The Aeneid satirize to make fun of mosaic picture made from chips of colored stone or glass engineering the application of science and mathematics to develop useful structures and machines The Roman Achievement

40 Section 3 Terms and People (continued) aqueduct bridgelike stone structure that carried water from the hills to the cities Ptolemy astronomer-mathematician who proposed a theory that the Earth was at the center of the universe The Roman Achievement

41 Section 3 How did advances in arts, learning, and the law show the Romans high regard for cultural and political achievements? Through war and conquest, Roman generals carried the achievements of Roman civilization to distant lands. Yet the resulting civilization was not simply Roman. It blended Greek, Hellenistic, and Roman achievements. The Roman Achievement

42 Section 3 The blending of Greek, Hellenistic, and Roman traditions produced Greco-Roman civilization. The Romans admired and adapted ideas from Greek culture. Travel during the Pax Romana spread this new tradition. The Roman Achievement

43 Section 3 In Virgil s epic poem Aeneid, Aeneas escaped from Troy to found Rome, linking Rome to Greek culture. His goal was to increase patriotism. Hellenistic philosophies such as Stoicism impressed Romans. They stressed duty, acceptance of one s fate, and concern for others. The Roman Achievement

44 Section 3 Many poets satirized Roman Society. Some historians looked for patriotic virtue. Horace used wit to attack human folly. Martial was so biting he had to use a fictitious name to protect himself. Livy recounted admiring tales of Horatius and Cincinnatus. Tacitus wrote of the loss of liberty. The Roman Achievement

45 Section 3 Roman art and architecture grew and were adapted from Etruscan and Greek roots. Artists and sculptures stressed realism and sought to focus on the subject s character and expression. Some sculpture was highly idealistic, portraying traits of power, grace, or strength. The Roman Achievement

46 Section 3 Romans used art to beautify their homes. Mosaics were created from small bits of stone or glass. In A.D. 79. a volcano, Mt. Vesuvius, erupted, burying Pompeii in ash, trapping residents but preserving their homes and artwork. The Roman Achievement

47 Section 3 Roman architecture stressed grandeur. Immense palaces, temples, and stadiums were monuments to Roman power and dignity. Rome improved on structural devices such as columns and arches. They used concrete and built huge domes. The most famous is the Pantheon. The Roman Achievement

48 Section 3 Roman engineers built roads and aqueducts to carry water to the cities. There were public baths, and the rich had water piped to their homes. The Roman Achievement

49 Section 3 Eleven aqueducts brought water from the surrounding hills into the city of Rome. The Roman Achievement

50 Section 3 Roman scientists are generally remembered for recording rather than creating new advances in science. Galen Ptolemy Pliny the Elder Compiled an encyclopedia of all known medical knowledge that was used for centuries. Looked at the work of earlier astronomers. He suggested the Earth was the center of the universe, an error accepted for 1,500 years. Compiled volumes on geography, zoology, and botany. The Roman Achievement

51 Section 3 Rome s commitment to law is a legacy still followed in the modern United States. A single legal code covered citizens and noncitizens alike with principles still used today. Presumption of innocence Right to face one s accuser Need for evidence Judges fairly interpret laws But the lower classes did receive harsher punishments. The Roman Achievement

52 Section 4 Objectives Understand the diverse religions found in the early Roman empire. Summarize the teachings of Jesus and how they were spread. Outline the development of the early Christian Church. The Rise of Christianity

53 Section 4 Terms and People messiah savior sent by God apostle leader or teacher of a new faith, including the 12 disciples of Jesus Paul most influential of the apostles in spreading Christianity martyr person who suffers or is killed for his or her beliefs The Rise of Christianity

54 Section 4 Terms and People (continued) Constantine emperor who issued the Edict of Milan granting freedom of worship to all citizens of the Roman empire clergy people who were allowed to conduct Christian services bishop high Church official responsible for everyone in his diocese patriarch bishop of one of the most important cities, who exercised authority over other bishops in his area The Rise of Christianity

55 Section 4 Terms and People (continued) pope bishop of Rome who claimed authority over all other bishops heresy belief contrary to official Church teaching Augustine leading early Church scholar who combined Christian doctrine with Greco-Roman learning The Rise of Christianity

56 Section 4 How did Christianity emerge and then spread to become the official religion of the Roman empire? At first, Christianity was one of many religions practiced in the empire. But, it grew rapidly and eventually became the official religion of the Roman empire. When the Roman empire fell, the Christian Church became the central institution of Western civilization for nearly 1,000 years. The Rise of Christianity

57 Section 4 Within the culturally diverse Roman empire various religions coexisted. As long as the Roman gods were honored, citizens could worship as they pleased. Because most people were polytheistic they were content to worship Roman gods with their own. One part of the empire was Judea, home of the Jews, who were deeply divided at the time. The Rise of Christianity

58 Section 4 During the Hellenistic age many Jews had absorbed Greek culture and ideas. But conservatives called for strict obedience to Jewish law and rejected foreign influences. Most Jews accepted Roman rule after Judea fell in 63 B.C. A group called Zealots refused to accept Roman rule. The Rise of Christianity

59 Section 4 The Zealots called for revolt against Rome. Many believed that God would soon send a messiah, an anointed king, who would lead them to freedom from Rome. In A.D. 66, discontent turned into open rebellion against Rome. In A.D. 70, Rome crushed the uprising and burned the Jewish temple in Jerusalem. The Rise of Christianity

60 Section 4 When new revolts broke out in the next century, Rome responded brutally. Thousands of Jews were killed or enslaved. Jerusalem was leveled. Groups of survivors were scattered around the Mediterranean, where they lived in small communities. Over the centuries Jewish rabbis, or teachers, preserved Jewish law, and Judaism survived. The Rise of Christianity

61 Section 4 As turmoil engulfed the Jews, a new religion, Christianity, was born amid followers of Jesus. What we know of Jesus comes from the Gospels, the first four books of the Christian Bible. Jesus was born around 4 B.C. in Bethlehem, near Jerusalem. At age 30 he began preaching in villages near Galilee. His popularity grew with word of miracles such as healing the sick. The Rise of Christianity

62 Section 4 Jesus taught simple lessons, often using parables. These short lessons, such as the Sermon on the Mount, taught an ethical message. In the Sermon, he summarized his ethical themes of mercy and sympathy for the poor and helpless. The Rise of Christianity

63 Section 4 Jesus teachings were rooted in Judaism. He emphasized God s love, obedience to the laws of Moses, and the Ten Commandments. He recruited twelve apostles, or disciples, who helped teach his mission. He also taught a new important idea, that he was the Son of God. Apostles believed he was the long-anticipated messiah. The Rise of Christianity

64 Section 4 According to the Gospels, Jesus went to preach in Jerusalem. There, he was betrayed by one of his disciples, arrested by the Romans, and condemned to die by crucifixion. According to the Gospels, after his death Jesus returned and spoke to his disciples. He commanded them to continue to preach his message, and then ascended to heaven. The Rise of Christianity

65 Section 4 Jesus followers came to be called Christians. Most important was Paul, who organized, traveled, and brought Christianity to Rome. At first Christianity was a sect of Judaism. As Paul spread the Gospel it grew to become a whole new religion. Paul preached that those who complied with Jesus teachings would achieve eternal salvation. The Rise of Christianity

66 Section 4 Roman rulers persecuted the early Christians for disloyalty to Rome. Emperors such as Nero used the Christians as scapegoats, blaming them for difficult times. Christians who suffered or were killed for their beliefs became martyrs. But Christianity appealed to many and spread rapidly across the empire. The Rise of Christianity

67 Section 4 Missionaries were able to use the Pax Romana to spread Christianity throughout the empire. The Rise of Christianity

68 Section 4 Under the Emperor Constantine, the persecution of Christians ended. In A.D. 313 the Edict of Milan granted freedom of worship to citizens of the Roman empire. By the end of the century, Emperor Theodosius made Christianity the official religion of Rome. In time a church bureaucracy arose alongside that of the empire. The Rise of Christianity

69 Section 4 Early Christians shared common practices but there was no structured church. New members were baptized or blessed with holy water to forgive their sins. All members were equals, and women could serve as teachers and administrators. Each Sunday they gathered in a ceremony of thanksgiving. The Rise of Christianity

70 Section 4 In time a structured hierarchy developed. Only men could serve as clergy. Communities were divided into dioceses, each overseen by a bishop. The bishops of major cities became patriarchs, who exercised authority over bishops. pope patriarchs bishops The bishop of Rome, or pope, claimed authority over all other bishops. local clergy The Rise of Christianity

71 Section 4 Differences emerged over Church doctrine. Disputes arose about heresies or teachings that went against Church beliefs. Councils of church leaders met to decide what official church beliefs were. Scholars produced a large body of theology, or talk or discourse about God. A leading early Christian scholar was Augustine, who combined Christianity with Greco-Roman learning. The Rise of Christianity

72 Section 5 Objectives Explain how and why the Roman empire divided. Describe how waves of invaders contributed to the decline of the Roman empire. Identify the various types of problems that led to the fall of Rome. The Long Decline

73 Section 5 Terms and People Diocletian emperor who split the Roman empire in two parts in an attempt to restore order inflation a rapid rise in prices Constantinople Constantine s new name for Byzantium, which he made the New Rome and center of power for the Eastern empire The Long Decline

74 Section 5 Terms and People (continued) Huns nomadic people from central Asia who migrated into eastern Europe, setting off a chain of invasions of the Roman empire mercenary a foreign soldier who served for pay rather than out of loyalty The Long Decline

75 Section 5 How did military, political, social, and economic factors combine to cause the fall of the western Roman empire? After ruling the Mediterranean for hundreds of years, the Roman empire faced threats from inside and outside. Economic problems, foreign invasions, and a decline in traditional values undermined stability and security. The Long Decline

76 Section 5 Following the death of Marcus Aurelius in 180, the Pax Romana ended. Rome fell into a period of political instability and violence. Ambitious generals and politicians successively seized power. One after another, each was overthrown or assassinated. In one 50-year period, 26 different emperors ruled. The Long Decline

77 Section 5 Economic and social problems grew worse over time. High taxes placed a heavy burden on farmers and business owners. Farmland productivity fell. Small farmers moved to the estates of the wealthy, where they were not allowed to leave the land. The Long Decline

78 Section 5 The Roman legions were no longer invincible. Rather than citizen-soldiers, many soldiers were now mercenaries, foreigners who fought for pay. Armies were often used for civil wars rather than protecting the large empire. The Long Decline

79 Section 5 In 284, Emperor Diocletian set out to restore order in the empire. He appointed a coemperor, Maximian, and divided the empire in half to ease administration. Maximian ruled the western provinces while Diocletian retained the wealthier eastern provinces. To curb inflation he fixed prices on many goods and services. Sons were required to follow their father s occupation and farmers to remain on their land. The Long Decline

80 Section 5 The reforms helped, but only for a time. Within 200 years, the western empire would fall. The eastern empire would last until the 1450s. The Long Decline

81 Section 5 In 312 Emperor Constantine took the throne and altered Europe s future. He issued the Edict of Milan granting religious toleration to Christians. Christianity would later become the official religion of the empire. He made Byzantium his capital, renaming it Constantinople. This New Rome shifted the center of power to the eastern empire. The Long Decline

82 Section 5 Increasingly, the western Roman empire came under attack from nomads. Wars in central Asia sent the nomadic Huns into eastern Europe. Germanic tribes pushed into Roman territory to escape the Huns. Britain, France, Spain, and eventually Rome itself were all overrun. The Long Decline

83 Section 5 Waves of invaders overwhelmed the Roman legions. The Huns were the most feared of the invaders. The Long Decline

84 Section The Huns moved into Central Europe, pushing the Visigoths, Ostrogoths, and others before them. 378 The Visigoths defeated a Roman army at Adrianople. 410 Visigoth general Alaric overran Italy and sacked Rome itself. 434 Attila the Hun invaded Europe, savagely destroying anyone in his path. 476 Rome falls. The Long Decline

85 Section 5 Long before the Roman emperor actually surrendered to Germanic invaders in 476, Rome had been in decline. The Goths, Huns, and Vandals had already over run much of the western empire. The Long Decline

86 Section 5 Military, economic, political, and social factors all contributed to Rome s decline. The Long Decline

87 Section 5 The empire s influence didn t completely disappear with the fall of Rome. An emperor ruled the eastern Roman empire for another thousand years. Newcomers borrowed much from Roman civilization. The Church preserved many elements of Roman civilization. Many citizens continued life as they had before, but under new rulers. The Long Decline
